Private dining space in Scarborough

A room with its own kitchens. Add catering, set one long table or several.

The presentation bar at Half Note: a long white counter with a turf front, with shelving and drinks fridges behind it.

The room

Two kitchens to work with

A presentation kitchen and a separate prep kitchen, with the appliances and prep space a dinner needs.

The bar is part of the room

The bar sits on the event floor, so it works as a drinks station or a serving counter.

A baby shower set up at Half Note: long banquet tables with white linen, gold chargers, a blush runner and a balloon arch.
